Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of the present inventive concept discloses an electronic device, including a display, a body to which the display is attached, wherein the body is coated with a meta-material, the meta-material configured to divert an electromagnetic wave based on refraction characteristics, and a display-cover that blocks the display from outside when the display is turned off, wherein the display-cover is coated with the meta-material.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display;

a body to which the display is attached, wherein the body is coated with a meta-material, the meta-material configured to divert an electromagnetic wave based on refraction characteristics; and

a display-cover configured to block the display when the display is turned off, wherein the display-cover is coated with the meta-material.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising:

a support stand supporting the body, wherein the support stand is coated with the meta-material.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the display-cover is configured to be moved to an internal part of the body when the display is turned on.

4. The electronic device of claim 3, wherein the display-cover is a film coated with the meta-material.

5. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the film is moved by at least one cylindrical rotor that is located in the internal part of the body.

6. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the film is configured to be moved to the internal part of the body by the cylindrical rotor when the display is turned on, and

wherein the film is configured to be moved over the display by the cylindrical rotor to cover the display when the display is turned off

7. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the cylindrical rotor is located in at least one of a left internal part of the body and a right internal part of the body.

8. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the cylindrical rotor is configured to move the film in a left and right direction of the body.

9. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the cylindrical rotor is located in at least one of an upper internal part of the body and a lower internal part of the body.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the cylindrical rotor is configured to move the film in an upper and lower direction of the body.

11. An electronic device, comprising:

a flexible display; and

a body coated with a meta-material, the meta-material configured to divert an electromagnetic wave based on refraction characteristics,

wherein the flexible display is configured to be moved to an internal part of the body when the flexible display is turned off, and is configured to be moved to an external part of the body when the flexible display is turned on.

12. The electronic device of claim 11, further comprising:

a support stand supporting the body, wherein the support stand is coated with the meta-material.

13. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the flexible display is configured to be moved by at least one cylindrical rotor that is located in the internal part of the body.

14. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the cylindrical rotor is configured to rotate and move the flexible display to the internal part of the body when the flexible display is turned off, and

the cylindrical rotor is configured to rotate and move the flexible display to the external part of the body when the flexible display is turned on.

15. The electronic device of claim 14, wherein the cylindrical rotor is located in at least one of a left internal part of the body and a right internal part of the body.

16. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the cylindrical rotor is configured to move the flexible display in a left and right direction of the body.

17. The electronic device of claim 14, wherein the cylindrical rotor is located in at least one of an upper internal part of the body and a lower internal part of the body.

18. The electronic device of claim 17, wherein the cylindrical rotor is configured to move the flexible display in an upper and lower direction of the body.
